OVERVIEW AND OPERATING PROCESS


1. OVERVIEW

Engine power reaches the transaxle via a torque converter with integral converter lock-up
clutch. The six forward gears and one reverse gear are obtained from a single planetary set,
followed by a double planetary set. This type of gear-set arrangement is commonly known as
Lepelletier type gear-set.
The Model M11 6 speed automatic transaxle is electronically controlled. The control system is
comprised of the following components:
- External transaxle control unit (TCU)
- Internal embedded memory module (EMM)
- Input and output speed sensors
- Valve body unit comprised of four ON/OFF solenoid valves and six variable bleed solenoids
(VBS)
- Torque converter

2. FEATURES
1) Advantages
▶ Early Downshift with Hard Braking and Skip Shifts
When heavy braking is detected, the transaxle downshifts early and skips gears to provide
increased engine braking to provide gear selection for tip-in.
▶ Gear Hold going Uphill/Downhill
If the accelerator pedal is released when traveling uphill, upshifts are prevented to reduce
busyness on grades. If the accelerator pedal is released when traveling downhill, upshifts are
prevented to enhance engine braking.

▶ Drive and Reverse Engagement


A soft engagement feature avoids harsh take up of drive when selecting Drive or Reverse. This
is achieved by limiting engine speed and engine torque which results in a rapid, but progressive
engagement of either Drive or Reverse when moving from the Park or Neutral positions. Drive
and Reverse engagements from either Park or Neutral are performed in less than 2.2 seconds.
There is no drive engagement prevention strategy implemented on the transaxle system as
there is sufficient engine strategy to protect the system. However, reverse engagement is
prevented until engine speed is less than 1,400 rpm and the accelerator pedal position is less
than 12% and vehicle speed is less than 10 km/h.
▶ Converter Clutch Lock-Up In All Gears
The transaxle features converter clutch lock-up in all gears. This feature provides improved fuel
economy and vehicle performance. It also improves transaxle cooling efficiency when towing
heavy loads at low speeds, e.g. in city driving or hill terrain.

▶ Embedded Memory Module (EMM)


The embedded memory module (EMM) is
matched to the transaxle’s valve bodies
during transaxle assembly to ensure refined
shift quality. The EMM is used to store data
such as valve body calibration data and valve
body serial number.
Upon installation, the TCU will download the
data from the EMM and utilize this data in the
operation of the transaxle.

2) Transaxle Cooling
The transaxle cooling system ensures rapid warm-up and constant operating temperature
resulting in reduced fuel consumption and refined shift quality.
It also includes a cooler by-pass within the hydraulic system to allow sufficient lubrication to the
transaxle drivetrain in the event of a blockage in the transaxle cooler.

3) Shift Strategy
▶ Gear Change
Transaxle gear change is controlled by the
TCU. The TCU receives inputs from various
engine and vehicle sensors to select shift
schedules and to control the shift feel and
torque converter clutch (TCC) operation at
each gear change.

▶ Coast down
Coast down down shifts occur at 0% pedal
when the vehicle is coasting down to a stop.

▶ Torque Demand
Torque demand down shifts occur
(automatically) when the driver demand for
torque is greater than the engine can
provide at that gear ratio. If applied, the
transaxle will disengage the TCC to provide
added acceleration.

4. LIMP HOME MODE


▶ When the transaxle is defective
1. In the event of a system fault, the TCU also provides for failure mode effect control (FMEC) to
maintain maximum functional operation of the transaxle.
2. In the event of a total loss of control or electrical power, the basic transaxle functions (Park,
Reverse, Neutral and Drive) are retained. The 4th and reverse gear ratios with the torque
converter clutch in the unlocked state are the retained gear states the hydraulic system
supports without any electrical assistance.
3. The TCU communicates with other vehicle electronic control modules by the controller area
network (CAN). If a major fault develops, the transaxle may automatically operate in a "limp
home" (failure) mode to enable the vehicle to be driven to an authorized dealer for repair.
4. The TCU also provides for transaxle diagnostics, which meet the requirements of OBD II
legislation, monitoring all components which may effect vehicle emissions.

▶ When the transaxle overheats


1. Limp home mode may also be engaged if the battery charge falls below 8V.
2. If the transaxle overheats, the shift patterns will automatically change to enable improved
transaxle cooling.
3. During transaxle overheat, the instrument cluster transaxle selector position display and the
over temperature condition is indicated by flashing the “W(Winter)” indicator on the
instrument cluster until normal transaxle operating temperature is reached.

▶ Towing the automatic transaxle equipped vehicle

- Flat-bed equipment is the best method of moving a disabled vehicle to avoid any damages.
- For AWD vehicle: The vehicle must be towed with a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed
equipment with all the wheels off the ground.
For 2WD vehicles: It is acceptable to tow the vehicle with the rear wheels on the ground
without dollies and the front wheels off the ground. When being towed by a commercial
towtruck and wheel dollies are not available, the front of the vehicle should be lifted, not the
rear.

5. TRANSAXLE ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM


1) General Information
The transmission control unit (TCU) and its input/output network control the following
transmission operations:
- Shift timing
- Line pressure
- Clutch pressure (shift feel)
- Torque converter clutch

also uses these signals when determining transaxle operating strategy. Using all of these input
signals, the TCU can determine when the time and conditions are right for a shift, or when to
apply or release the torque converter clutch. It will also determine the pressure needed to
optimise shift feel. To accomplish this, the TCU operates six variable bleed control solenoids
and four on/off solenoids to control transaxle operation.

2) TCU (Transmission Control Unit)


The transaxle control unit (TCU) is mounted
under the driver's seat and controls the
operation of the transaxle.
The TCU is activated and deactivated by the
ignition power supply and is connected to the
transaxle link harness by a 26 pin connector.
The TCU processes information received
from internal sensors and signals received
across the CAN bus in analogue and digital
forms such as:
- Transaxle input speed
- Transaxle output speed
- Accelerator pedal position
- Gear selector position
- Engine torque
- Engine speed
- Transaxle fluid temperature
- Brake pedal status
- Engine oil temperature
- Engine coolant temperature
- Ambient air temperature
- Barometric pressure

DSI 6 SPEED AUTO TRANSAXLE


undefined
3680-01 02-15

This information is used by the TCU to decide which shift pattern to select and for shift energy
management. Electro-hydraulic solenoid valves and variable bleed solenoids control the
transaxle gear changes.
Six variable bleed solenoids and four on/off solenoids are used to direct transaxle fluid flow to
control the fluid pressure within the three clutches and two bands. Separate pressure regulators
are used exclusively for torque converter clutch control and main transaxle line pressure.
The TCU monitors all TCU inputs and outputs to confirm correct system operation. If a fault
occurs the TCU is able to perform default action and inform the driver of the problem through
the instrument cluster warning lights. Detailed information is available via trouble codes which
can be read with the service tool.

3) Shift Map Selection


The driver can manually select between normal (S) and winter modes (W) via the mode switch.
Depending on the transaxle temperature, uphill and downhill grades and altitude, shift maps will
be selected by the TCU to suit the driving conditions. The following maps are available.

▶ Standard (Normal) Mode


Normal Mode is selected when the lever is in the D position with the mode switch in the normal
(S) position and the transaxle is within normal temperature ranges. Shift schedule points are
optimised for fuel efficiency and general driving conditions.

▶ Uphill and Downhill Mode


In this mode, depending on the load of the vehicle, adaptive shift maps are selected to
progressively adjust the shift points and torque converter lock points.

▶ Altitude Mode
Shift points are automatically adjusted at higher altitudes to compensate for changes in engine
torque where the torque produced by the engine is greatly reduced by the effects of reduced
barometric pressure and temperature.

▶ Winter (W) Mode


When winter mode is selected, starting in second gear is facilitated and the WINTER mode
indicator light is switched ON. To prevent wheel spin on slippery surfaces, the transmission will
not allow first gear unless manually overridden.

▶ Warm up Schedule
Used typically when transaxle fluid temperature is below 20°C.
The torque converter will not lock-up below 20°C to assist in transaxle warm-up.

▶ Hot Mode
The hot mode is progressively applied between temperatures of 110° ~ 200°C. The torque
converter lock-up is increased to prevent heat generation by the torque converter.
Above 110℃ the electrical radiator fans are switch ON
Above 130℃ the engine torque will be reduced and the W light on the instrument cluster will
flash

Above 200℃ the transaxle will neutralise until the fluid temperature falls below 200°C as
a final protection.
Activation of the hot mode inhibits other transmission performance features including uphill and
downhill compensation and altitude compensation. Some degradation in shift feel may be
experienced as the torque converter is not unlocked during shifting.

▶ Cruise Control Mode


When cruise control is activated the engine ECU may request the transaxle to downshift under
trailing throttle conditions to increase engine braking.

CONFIGURATION AND FUNCTIONS


3722-01 TGS LEVER
1) Overview
The TGS lever prevents inappropriate or unexpected shifting of gears to increase safety. It also
helps the driver safely select a needed gear. The solenoid of the TGS lever has the factory-
installed "P" Lock function which allows the driver to shift gears from the "P" position only when
the brake pedal is depressed. Because drivers of vehicles without this system can shift gears
by only operating the gear selection lever, their safety and convenience are limited. Sometimes,
the gears could be changed unexpectedly or unintentionally by various factors. Therefore, two
tip switches are installed to prevent such changes from happening.
For instance, when a vehicle is running on a severely curved road, the driver must hold the
steering wheel with two hands. Shifting gears or using the engine brake while driving on the
road will be dangerous. So, one tip switch is installed on the steering wheel. The other tip
switch is installed on the knob to prevent unintended gear shifting.
This system is only activated when the TGS lever is engaged in the "M" position. When the
lever is pushed to the "D" position, the tip switches will not change gears.

2) TGS Lever Positions


P <---> D D <---> M

▶ Park

The engine can be started. The parking pole stops the driving wheels from
rolling.
To move the lever from "P" to another position, the brake pedal must be
depressed (Parking Lock System).

▶ Reverse

By switching between the Standard and Winter switches, the reverse


speed can be changed. The change should be made before shifting the
selector lever to the "P" position.

▶ Neutral, Engine Start or Towing

It is possible to start the engine. This position is also for a brief stop or
towing the vehicle. When towing the vehicle, the towing speed should be 50
km/h or less and the towing distance should not exceed 50 kilometers. It is
recommended to load this vehicle on a flat-bed towing vehicle.

▶ 1 to 6 Gears

This position is for normal driving on paved roads or high speed driving. The
gear ratio of the 6th gear is 0.676:1.

3) Manual Mode (M Position)

Tip switch

Tip switch (+) Tip switch (-)

Driving gear can be adjusted by operating the tip switch after moving the gear selector lever
from “D” to “M” position. If the gear selector level is moved to “M” position while driving,
the gear is shifted down to the next lower gear. To prevent shift shock and to protect the
system, in some cases, the current gear may not be shifted to the lower gear even if the gear
selector lever is moved to “M” position.

▶ 1 to 6 gears (only available in the "M" position)

Normal driving position.


Automatically shifted to 1 to 6 gear same as "D" position.
Can downshift with tip switch.

▶ 1 to 5 gears (only available in the "M" position)

3722-01 02-31

4) Shift Mode
(1) Manual (M) mode
To prevent any wrong shifting down or up in the "D" position, the manual mode can be activated
only in the "M" position. When both tip switches on the steering wheel and the knob send out
shifting up or down signals in the M mode to the controller of the selector lever, the controller
only accepts the first signal and ignores the second signal.
When the driver briefly touches or continuously pushes one of the up or down shifting tip switch
in the M mode, the signal is sent to the TCU. When the driver pushes and holds the switch, the
TCU shifts down one or two gears without any jerking. If the driver briefly touches the switch
once, the TCU shifts up or down gears one by one.

(2) When switching from D to M


When the selector lever is pushed from the D position to the M mode, the M mode sensor
detects this change and sends a signal to the TCU, and the TCU shifts down one or two gears
without any jerking. This means the newly engaged gear in the M mode is the one-level lower
gear from the D position.

(3) When switching from M to D


When the selector lever is pushed to the D position from the M mode, the M position sensor
detects the change and sends another signal to the TCU. Then, the TCU enables the
transmission to choose from all available gears including the highest one (the D position).

The mode switch is installed next to the gear selector lever as shown in the figure. It has the
Standard (S) and Winter (W) modes.

- The S mode is for driving under normal conditions and uses the 1st gear to start off. It also
ensures more enjoyable driving by analyzing the driver's driving habits and changing shifting
patterns according to the habits. (Degree holding on a hilly road: approximately 11 to 13.5%
or less)
- When the W mode is selected, the Winter lamp comes on the instrument panel. The mode
uses the 2nd gear for the vehicle's smooth driving off.

The TGS unit sends the signal related to the mode switch to TCU through hard wire.

6) Parking Lock System


(1) Function
The parking lock system is built in the selector
lever unit as shown in the figure. The wiring to
detect the brake switch is connected to the
selector lever unit so that the system detects
the brake switch operation signal for allowing
shift from the "P" to other positions. This
system is a safety measure to prevent the
selector lever from moving unless the brake
pedal is depressed.

(1) Torque converter

Torque converter

▶ Front view

▶ Rear view

The torque converter is installed between the


engine and the transmission. It is consisted of
the impeller, turbine, stator, lockup clutch,
and one-way clutch.
The torque converter contains a single plate
lock-up clutch. The lock-up clutch can be
controlled and engaged in any forward gear.
The clutch is applied by removing
transmission fluid pressure from one side of
the plate and applying pressure to the other.
The torque converter transmits and multiplies
torque.

▶ Operation

- The impeller, which is driven by the engine, imparts a circular flow to the transaxle fluid in the
converter.
- This transaxle fluid strikes the turbine wheel, which causes the flow to change its direction.
- The transaxle fluid flows out of the turbine wheel close to the hub and strikes the stator where
its direction is changed again to a direction suitable for re-entering the impeller.
- The change in direction at the stator generates a torque reaction which increases the torque
reaching the turbine.
- The ratio between turbine and impeller torque is referred to as torque multiplication or
conversion.
- The greater the difference in speed or rotation at the impeller and turbine, the greater the
increase in torque. The maximum increase is obtained when the turbine wheel is stationary.
As turbine wheel speed increases, the amount of torque multiplication gradually drops.
- When the turbine wheel is rotating at about 85% of the impeller speed, torque conversion
reverts to one, that is to say torque at the turbine wheel is no higher than the torque at the
impeller.
- The stator, which is prevented from rotating backwards by a one-way clutch and the shaft in
the transaxle housing, runs freely in the transaxle fluid flow and overruns on the one-way
clutch. From this point on, the converter acts only as a fluid coupling. During the torque
conversion process, the stator ceases to rotate and bears against the housing by the one-way
clutch.

▶ Torque converter lock-up clutch


- The torque converter lock-up clutch is a
device which eliminates slip in the torque
converter and therefore helps to keep fuel
consumption to a minimum.
- The torque converter lock-up clutch includes
a cooling nozzle which allows for torque
converter slip control. This functionality allows
for partial torque converter lock-up at lower
than normal engine rpm, which improves fuel
economy.
- The torque converter lock-up clutch is
engaged and released via the control system.
Pressure at the torque converter lock-up
clutch piston is determined by an electronic
variable bleed solenoid (VBS).

- The torque converter lock-up clutch can be


controlled and engaged in any forward gear.
When the torque converter lock-up clutch is
released, transmission fluid pressure behind
the lock-up clutch piston turbine area is
equalized. The direction of flow is through the
turbine hub and the area behind the piston
into the turbine area.
- To engage the torque converter lock-up clutch
the direction of transmission fluid flow is
changed by a valve in the transmission pump.
At the same time the space behind the torque
converter lock-up clutch piston is vented. Fluid
pressure extends from the turbine area to the
torque converter lock-up clutch piston and
presses it against the cover of the torque
converter. This locks the turbine wheel
between the piston and the cover and enables
the drive to pass with limited slip to the
planetary gear train in normal operating
conditions.

Other shift elements in addition to the torque


converter lock-up clutch are:
- Four rotating multi-plate clutches C1,
C2 and C3
- One brake clutch (B2)
- One brake band (B1)

The multi-plate clutches are equalized in


terms of dynamic pressure. Its piston is
exposed to the transaxle fluid flow on both
sides in order to prevent pressure build up in
the clutch as the speed of rotation increases.
This pressure equalization is achieved by a
piston dam.
The advantages of this dynamic pressure
equalization are:

- Reliable clutch engagement and release


in all speed ranges
- Improved shift refinement

3680-01 VALVE BODY ASSEMBLY


1) Overview
The valve body contains four on/off solenoid valves and six variable bleed solenoids. The on/off
solenoid valves are actuated by the TCU and maintain two positions; open and closed. These
valves are used to switch the shift valves.
The variable bleed solenoids convert an electric current into a proportional hydraulic pressure.
They are energized by the TCU and supply variable pressure to each of the clutch or bands
dedicated regulator valves.
